Acclaim for the Critical Insights Series
|
|
"The diversity of the works studied and variety of critical approaches taken in the volumes in this series help make it a lively and most worthwhile compendium ...Highly recommended. " - School Library Journal
"This is a valuable addition to academic libraries supporting literature students at both the undergraduate and graduate level as it presents different views and more in-depth articles than those found in such series as 'Bloom,' 'Literary Criticism,' and 'Contemporary Literary Criticism'." - Library Journal
"Like the other volumes in this series, this one provides the necessary context to make an enduring classic accessible to students entirely unfamiliar with the text while offering interesting insights to those much more familiar with the work. Recommended." - ARBA

Critical Insights:
Othello
|
Othello has long been considered (along with Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth) one of Shakespeare’s four greatest works of tragedy. Recently, however, Othello has taken on a special interest, partly because it deals so intriguingly with such issues as gender, race, and class --issues particularly engaging to so many readers, critics, and playgoers. This volume explores Othello from numerous points of view, paying special attention to such matters as history, aesthetics, and various important productions, especially on film.

This volume offers a deliberately diverse range of essays on the novel’s major themes, its compelling literary features, and its complicated structure and intriguing presentations of characters.
